We find it completely unacceptable that
the flags that have flown in honor and sacred memory of Robert E. Lee
since 1930 were stripped from this chamber, for NO OTHER REASON than to
cater to the extortion-like "demands" of a half dozen students.

Once again, we want to thank each
and every one of you who have made phone calls, sent emails, and mailed
letters since we first forwarded the contact information last week. We
understand from our sources that phones were tied up and emails were
filled with messages voicing disgust and outrage with the actions of
officials at Washington & LEE University.

Starting tomorrow morning, we are going to ask you to switch gears and contact these folks:

Please
contact these folks and let them know that the removal of the flags
from the chamber of the Lee Chapel was unacceptable and must be
corrected immediately. These contacts are particularly important to
share with anyone who is an alumnus or has alumni contacts. We must let
them know we will stand united and end ALL support until the flags are
returned.

If,
for some reason, you have yet to contact the President and staff, we
have included the original contact request information at the bottom of
this email.

Many of you have asked
repeatedly about when we are going
to "March on Washington & Lee" and start flagging them. Most
people see this outward expression of what we do, and may not realize
that
it is a powerful tool, but one that is typically held in our arsenal
and used when all other efforts are exhausted. We contacted the
W&L administration in April, when news of "The Committee's" demands
first surfaced, and have been collecting information and investigating
the situation ever since.

Of course, the actual removal last
week has kicked our efforts into overdrive. We have contacted W&L
officials again, and our next communication will let them know that if
the flags are not returned by our deadline, flaggings will begin. In
the meantime, we are making trips to Lexington to scout the area,
investigate all pertinent laws and regulations, and preparing literature
and talking points so that our Flaggers, and those who join us, have
everything needed to be successful. We never step onto the sidewalk
until we have covered all of our bases and have all needed resources
lined up and available. Everything from parking, to bathroom
accessibility is covered.

While we expect to begin scheduling
flaggings within the next few weeks, IF the flags are not returned, our
main
push will come in September, once students are back on campus. We
realize full well that the announcement of the flag removal in July,
while students were on summer break, was very much by design. We have
been contacted by and are in communication with students who are ready
to join us in these
protests, and whose presence will be a huge boost to our efforts.
Student move-in dates, Parents' weekends, home football games, and other
high profile events will be the targets of our activity. We are
organizing now and are looking for anyone who is willing to join us,
especially those in the Lexington area, to contact us for more
details.

Stay tuned for more updates and information, as we have much more to
share... and please continue to forward these emails to everyone on
your contact list. We must keep
the skeer on through phone calls, emails, and letters...and have flags
ready for the call...it's coming soon!

Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or
cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first
person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective
"my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use
unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress
would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.

Recently Washington & Lee University President Ken Ruscio announced the
university would remove the eight regimental Confederate Battleflags surrounding
the famed recumbent statue of Robert E. Lee in Lee Chapel.

The statue chamber
and the Lee family crypt were built onto Lee Chapel as the site chosen for the
Robert E. Lee Memorial using private donations raised for the purpose. As such
the university accepted the responsibility to ensure that Lee's burial place
would be given the proper respect it deserves and it did so for well over one
hundred years. Sadly, the once proud Southern school has become infiltrated more
and more with radical ideology and the academics running the school no longer
share the same values as Robert E. Lee. Instead many overtly and openly proclaim
disdain for him.

When Lee's character was recently attacked, the school offered
no response and instead has caved to the demands of a small group of student's
who want Lee and everything he stood for repudiated. For now they have won their
fight to remove these flags, but they or others like them will continue their
crusade with revolutionary fever to destroy Lee's image in its entirety. The
current president, the successor to Robert E. Lee, has now become the nations
most notorious grave robber. These radical students undoubtedly dream of the day
that sledge hammers will be taken to Lee's recumbent statue just as the mob in
Iraq recently did to the grave of the famed Prophet Jonah.

How should decent people react to the cowardly violation of the memorial for
an American Icon? Are we so ignorant to believe that people cannot understand
why Confederate flags would be at a deceased general's or veteran's grave? Why
has this happened and what can be done about it?The Stonewall Brigade Camp #1296 is putting together an event where these
issues will be addressed on July 26 at an open community meeting to be held at
the Holiday Inn Express on N. Lee Highway at 4pm featuring a talk by Dr.
Marshall DeRosa, Professor of Political Science at Florida Atlantic University
entitled “The Heroical Robert E. Lee: Under Attack by the Useful Idiots of the
Ruling Class.” Following Dr. DeRosa's presentation attendees will be invited to
express their concerns and to offer ideas and solutions to the matter.

In addition we will be holding a Flag Vigil against this cowardly act in
downtown Lexington throughout the day and are working to secure a sight nearby
to Lee Chapel to hold a rally beginning at Noon. We encourage anyone concerned
about this issue to attend and bring your flags and signs in hand to protest
what we consider no less than grave robbery as defined under law by the current
president of Washington & Lee. We do ask that everyone remember that
although we have the right to be angry at this situation, everyone should
conduct themselves in a manner that would not further embarrass the memory of
Robert E. Lee.

We do not need to stoop down to the level of those who started
this travesty. The city sidewalks will be accessible to us, but expect W&L
security to remove or arrest anyone entering the campus with a sign or flag.

What else can you do? Write, call, and email the university using the contact
information listed below. Secondly, if you know any W&L alumni or donors let
us know who they are so that we can encourage them to contact the school and
consider withholding further support. Thirdly, attend the flag rally and forum
if you can.

Fourthly, consider contributing to the various heritage defense
funds for this purpose. PresidentMr. Kenneth

A forensic profiler whose career has
included work on the double-murder case against O.J. Simpson and the
Natalie Holloway disappearance says Barack Obama is confessing he’s
under enormous pressure and is “slipping mentally.”

After conducting countless sorties and bombing raids aimed at Hamas
operatives in Gaza during the fifth day of Operation Protective Edge,
but resulting in well over a hundred innocent civilian deaths in the
past week, Israel, realizing it is not generating any brownie points
with the international "humanitarian" media, finally did what it had
threatened to do over the last few days - launch a ground assault.

Moments ago, the Israel military reported that Israeli ground troops
had entered northern Gaza to take out a number of missile launch sites.

Saturday on the Fox News Channel, Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza said that up to 70 percent of the agents are being pulled off patrolling the border to handle the administrative paperwork needed to deal with the unfolding humanitarian crisis of ten thousands of unaccompanied minors flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border.

There has been much written about the racial rhetoric that has
permeated political discourse since President Obama took office, and the
media often highlights the racially inflammatory language used by some
of his opponents. But racially charged language targeting black
Republicans rarely receives much coverage, further fueling conservative
suspicion of the mainstream media.

Late last month, Gloreatha
Scurry-Smith, a congressional candidate in Florida’s Fifth district,
found that one of her campaign signs had been vandalized. Smith says she
initially wasn’t surprised that one of her billboards had been defaced,
but was taken aback when she saw that her face had been spray painted
white on a towering 8-foot by 4-foot campaign billboard.

Many thanks to the hundreds of you who have called, written, or emailed
officials at Washington & Lee regarding the removal of the Battle
Flags from the Lee Chapel. We have received copies of many excellent
letters, and have had reports of very interesting conversations held
with, and responses received from school officials.

It seems that the staff is doing their very best to draw attention away
from the fact that this decision was a surrender to the extortion-like
threats of the member of "The Committee", who promised "civil
disobedience" if the flags were not removed by September 1st. Their
spin and propaganda is hard to swallow, especially in light of some new
information that the Va Flaggers have discovered.

On the one-year anniversary of the trial of George Zimmerman, one man
is calling out those who conspired to convict Zimmerman in both the
courts of law and of public opinion.

Jack Cashill, Emmy-award winning independent writer and producer,
said it was the first time in American history, “the White House, the
Justice Department and the media conspired to put an innocent man in
prison for the rest of his life.”

For Funny Car racer John Force, time only matters on the track as the 65-year old driver added to his legacy by winning his 140th
NHRA National event, and first ever at Norwalk, at the NHRA Summit
Equipment Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park over the July 4th weekend.

Joining Force in the Ohio winner’s circle were Antron Brown, Erica Enders-Stevens and Andrew Hines at this fan-favorite track.

FUNNY CAR

John Force is still raising the bar after all these years, and
Sunday’s victory pushed his Castrol JFR team into the No. 2 position in
the Mello Yello Funny Car point standings.

“This win today was special to me,” said a grinning Force. “I had
come to Norwalk decades ago for the Night of Fire events and match races
but never won the NHRA event here, and I want to win every race. I
just couldn’t get a NHRA national event win here and I won them all with
the exception of Epping, so I really wanted this win.”

Going into race day, John Force’s Funny Car Mustang had qualified
second with a thundering 4.016 second run at 322.04 that set the track
speed record at Summit Motorsports Park. Crew chief Jimmy Prock and the
rest of the team knew just how far they could push the track conditions
without overpowering the track.

Remembrance

Execution of Colonel Ho Ngoc CanLast words: "If I won the war, I would not condemn you as you have condemned me.I would not humiliate you as you have humiliated me.I would not ask you questions that you asked me.I fought for the freedom of my people.I have merit and I am not guilty.No one can convict me.History will criticize you as my Communist enemy.You want to kill me, then kill me.Do not blindfold me.Down with the Communists.Long live the Republic of Viet Nam !"

Colonel CraigMandeville:

“They wanted the people to see that he was dead,” said Craig Mandeville, an American adviser to the South Vietnamese army who fought side by side with Can. “He was believed to be some sort of invincible guy. The North Vietnamese thought that, too, and I even thought that when I fought with him.”

“He said, ‘OK, the country’s fallen, but by God we’re still South Vietnamese and we’re free,’ ” Mandeville recalled. “So he went down to Chuong Tien province and rounded up all these soldiers down there to form a Free Vietnam.”

Col. Can didn’t live long after that, but the legacy of his struggle lives on.

My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.

*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
